Comparisons Featuring Philips X526
Short Review
- The Philips X526 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 53.6 x 18.5 mm and weighs 126 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is limited with 1GB of RAM and only 1MB of storage, which restricts multitasking and app usage.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of recording video at CIF resolution and 15fps, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The 1200 mAh battery supports basic usage but lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device operates without advanced software features and does not support Wi-Fi, relying on Bluetooth 2.0 for connectivity.
- It is available in silver and black colors, though it lacks water resistance and premium materials.
- The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may limit audio options.
- Overall, the X526 is a basic phone designed for essential communication without modern smartphone features.
